Did you not use the internet as a kid? I was born in 2004 and still experienced all of it besides cons.

The party may have died down but there's still dozens if not hundreds of drawings being made every single day. There's still plenty of pony left to enjoy.

>>43055172
I experienced pretty much the same thing.

I am so fucking done with missing out on essentially everything good apparently and having to hear smug millennials and gen xers sperg about it.

I am sick of being told how much better the world was before I was born. It's so fucking demoralizing just being told that you missed out on all the good stuff and now all you get to do is dig through the garbage pile for scraps.

Holy shit it's like I wrote this post. I'm sick to death of the constant fart-sniffing and waxing nostalgic. It's not even the """oldfags""" who are the worst, it's the cultists who kiss the ground they (think) they walk on.
And every time something new or fun or interesting comes up, even if it's small, there's the chorus of "well, it's nothing like the *golden age* of the fandom" and "you, like, you just had to *be* there", and then it descends into comparisons of "how is <new pony video X from 2025> similar to <old pony video Y from 2012>" instead of discussing X on its own merits. Like holy shit, do you even care about creating anything anymore or is it just rose coloured glasses glued to your faces now and bitching at people who don't?

I'm one of those millennials who was 16 in 2010 and experienced it all (with the exception of cons). Nostalgia is a force that grows stronger with age. But I every time I see a newfag make pone content it brings joy to my heart. Museums are fun to visit, but not to live in. And there's still plenty of new people making new pone stuff every day. One of them could even be (you)

>>43055172
The world was absolutely better when the fandom was at its height, but there's nothing stopping you from returning to the same feeling simply by curating what you see. It's literally that simple.

The problem isn't that there isn't content but that the energetic time the content was created in is still gone, and /that's/ what oldfags constantly talk about being better than now. It's frustrating for newer fans because it's like your grandparents talking about how much nicer it was when a meal cost 50 cents and the historic old bar wasn't replaced with a Starbucks. There's nothing we can do to bring it back, just do the best we can now, and the constant kvetching puts a damper on things. Pic somewhat related.

Yeah, it's obviously hard for people to imagine that this board used to be one of the faster ones on the site. Up until 2015 this board used to have the same posts/day as /g/.

>>43055411
The idea that 4chan was somehow pre-cringe culture is absurd to me. 4chan was the bleeding edge of aggressively shutting down cringeworthy behavior, it's why ponies were as hated as they were and GR15 got implemented.

>>43055425
I don't give a fuck about 4chins outside of ponies. The rest of the site is for faggots.

You can partake in what works are completed and take joy with those who remain. There are fan communities in far more wretched states.

>>43055435
Yeah, that's why I try and remind myself. There are countless fandoms who dream of being in the state ponies are in.

>>43055172
I got to experience the fandom from 2016-19, I kinda drifted away after that, but I know how you feel. I've joined groups that are well past their prime or completely dead, and all I can say is that it could be worse. don't be sad about what you missed, celebrate what we still have.

>>43055172
>scroll through dead forums and old memes like a digital museum
What are they and how did you come across them? I see newer fans asking about these since they don't know where to look.

>>43055386
To add on to this, I realised later on that I wouldn't have joined the fandom even if it was a couple of years later. It's not always a matter of missing out on the "golden years" or purely nostalgia, but sometimes fans join the fandom because that specific version of the fandom appealed to them and I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting to relive that. Right now there are fans that preferred the fandom from 2016-2019, and the same thing will happen to the current generation of fans too. It's inevitable for some, and that's okay. The key is to not dump that on anything newer. I know that's what you're sort of getting at too. I say this because these two are often lumped together as the same problem and they shouldn't be.

>>43055330
>Museums are fun to visit, but not to live in.
Very guilty of doing this.
I suppose this is also a reply to >>43055343 >>43055348 . Curating your content daily does return some of those years back and can be fun. I was dead set on going through older stuff only (currently in 2016), but it eventually becomes a depressing chore unless you check out newer content every couple of days.

>>43055440
Also this. Pony is really active compared to other fandoms. It's just not the dominant force on the internet anymore.

>>43055386
You can at least take solace in the knowledge that nothing on the Internet will ever be as big as ponies were in 2011-2012. It was a far different time when there was still a sort of hegemony on the Internet. Where memes were shared by everyone on the net, where algorithms didn't dictate what increasingly small subcultures were fed. Things come and things go so much quicker now and they never reach "everyone" anymore. Even the largest online zeitgeist of the 2020's had the staying power of a fart in the breeze. Don't be disappointed that you didn't get to experience the big bang personally, because there will never be another. Just like there will never be another Minecraft circa 2010 or Xbox 360 circa 2007 or Among Us circa 2020. We can only hope there will be something cool sometime in the future to be a part of, and to recognize it when it happens and appreciate the energy then.

Take solace in the fact that the glory days were full of garbage that has since been forgotten or fondly mocked. For as many fans as there were praising FIW, there were as many MAS fans comparing FIW to utter crap. There were hundreds of pony ask blogs on tumblr, which you might ignore for the dozen you consider good. So if the new stuff of today were to be judged in a vacuum, it'd still be called cringe garbage by a lot of people.

I also missed the early days and regret it OP. I didn't go to my first con until after COVID and didn't have any friends then either. I wish I could go back but I can't, pony is really all I have that keeps me going and the only chance for my life to be somewhat happy, just got to hope against the odds things somehow get better.

I am sorry that you didn't get to experience it anon. I'm several years older than you nearly a decade jesus christ, and while I look back and remember it as being a lot of fun, there's nothing wrong with it being smaller now. Just because it's not at the peak anymore doesn't mean you shouldn't try to enjoy pony to the fullest. Doing that will make you just wallow in sadness and regret, and for something you had absolutely no control over and shouldn't feel either of those about.
If it's any consolation, try not to feel too bad whenyou see millenials being nostalgic over things that happened in the 2010s. Before that, the older half of millenials were going on about how good the 90s were and how everyone who didn't see them missed out. I had the same exact sadness about the 90s stuff.
It's just a part of human life that each generation is gonna go "oh you missed out on THIS thing that *I* experienced back in MY day."

I know that most every other post in this thread is saying "just go back and watch/read everything," but I know that's not the same thing as experiencing it with everyone else when it's brand new. It sucks, yeah, sadly there isn't much we can do. Archive whatever stuff you find that you like, and maybe one day you'll post it and someone who was around back then will get to talk about it.

Although at the same time, like >>43055330 said, don't try to live in the past I'm incredibly guilty of this. Instead, just remember it and experience it from time to time, and with everything new that gets made pony gets to experience something new another day. And that's what's important. Sure the "energy" of the time isn't there, but look, believe me when I say you're very lucky to not have dealt with the reality. Like >>43055411 mentioned, there was only a few years before cringe culture absolutely skullfucked the internet for a few years, and it only started becoming free in like 2020. It's nice to see zoomers be silly to an extent, some of the brainrot drives me nuts

I'm old enough to have experienced the advent of the fandom but I feel kind of the same. I grew out of it by 2012/13 as the forums and communities I was active in were just full of bedwetters and borderline CWC-tier autists.
I posted occasionally on ponychan but I wasn't active there. I missed out on /mlp/'s golden years because I stubbornly refused to use 4chan for years (my go-to imageboard was always krautchan which doesn't even exist anymore and "bronies" were practically nonexistent there)

I kinda get it. While I'm to have discover ponies in late 2013, I wish I've been there to experience earlier stuff, like the premiere of season 2 and watching Twilicorn the day it happened. Sadly the channel in my country airing the show was Discovery Kids (Kindergarden shit) so I ignored it for a while.
Friendship is Magic might be one of the most "You had to be there" cartoons out there. While it is definitely good by itself, experiencing the show and waiting for new episodes was a big factor in what attached people to it. Adventure Time, Regular Show and Gumball are also long-running series from the same era, but you never feel that you've missed something by watching them later, but FiM feels so attached to the cultural context of the 2010's that it is as if you were reading a book but every other page was missing.
An experience I re-call was being excited for the 100th because I liked them or the announcement of the 2017 movie since the only films Hasbro made up to that point were Barbieshit and I was not into them, also thinking "Three years is way too long to wait" of a wait.

Nah. I can sense it coming. Maybe next year, maybe 2 years, maybe 3. Pony is gonna be bullish like you've never seen. So that means that you and I, God's most autistic zoomoids, better get to work on making poni. We're gonna be the oldfags before you know it, Anon.

do you think the fandom could survive if g6 goes bad? I think so since it's 99% g4 anyway.
The target audience are also becoming adults so we may see a resurgence of them too, similar to how a large percentage of Lego sales are now AFOLs who grew up with it (If anyone is into Lego.)

>>43056040
>do you think the fandom could survive if g6 goes bad?
NTA but yes. People flocked to G5 pretty hard when it was still going but now that G5's dead, everyone's run back to G4 like nothing had happened. When G6 fails, they'll do the same thing.

>>43056044
I feel the actual show quality isnt even that important but the fan content and everything surrounding the fandom that makes most people stay. since everything haber did is pretty much universally panned but people are still here. so we will 100% be fine if G6 goes to shit

When you think about it, Friendship is Magic might be the best representation of the 2010's as a decade:
stuff seemed fine at the start, but every wrong decision was taken during the first half (2010-2014) while the consequences of said actions manifested in the later one (2015-2019) and we're still suffering for them in the following decade.

On an unrelated not, I got to be honest: I'm starting to get tired of ponies but I don't want to leave yet either. I don't want to maybe miss something that could bring closure to me when it comes to FiM.
If there's one thing I really dislike about G4 is that there's no conclusion that leaves me satisfied. S3 finale felt rushed and poorly thought out, S4 is the best one but it killed the Golden Oaks Library and there were still questions left unanswered (like the CmC's talents), the S5 finale may have been an okay point to stop but it is an awful episode, S9 with the whole , Pony Life and EQG need no explanation and G5 only made things worse because the last thing we'll ever know about the old Equestria is that society collapsed and the Mane 6 died miserable and unhappy.
The only thing that could bring me rest might be an alternate season 3 with Faust in charge, sort of like how Genndy got to finish Samurai Jack years later. Even if it's not good, just knowing that the women who started it all got to finish it as well is enough for me at this point. Even better if she gets to assign someone talented to lead later generations, passing the torch to new pony fans. If this in turn makes the community self-sufficient enough so I can't stop feeling the need to stick around to keep the flame of the old fandom alive, much better.

But that's wishful thinking and there's no chance for it to happen.
Hasbro can't even fire the morons who made the commercial disaster that was G5, let alone recognize the franchise would've stay dead if it wasn't for Faust and her team. So I'm chasing a carrot that I know it doesn't exist.

>>43055172
I'm 23 and got into mlp last year. I'm always getting into communities long after their prime, and honestly i prefer it that way. It's more chill and laidback when it's not the big thing anymore. Honestly you should look at the positives instead of the negatives. All things considered, this community is still doing great. When I was younger i was big into The Legend of Spyro, and i tell you what that trilogy is fucking dead. You can still find art being made of it every now and then, but there is zero hope of a future remaster or sequel of any kind and most people got over making fan content for it. MLP on the other hand is much more timeless, and even over a decade after FiM released its still gaining new fans and has TONS of fan content to engage in already.

True but you're ignoring two things:
Everything Faust and her team did.
MLP is great at attracting mentally unstable people.

It's been over a decade since the show stopped being good for most people, but it was once great many stay because we consider them important to us.
We're hopelessly looking for the ponies we once had in the early 2010's that we fell in love with. We won't find them again, it's the illusion of another lighting in a bottle that keeps us hooked to them.

>>43055172
Same. it's honestly insane the fact what g4 is 16 years old and many of bronies of past now just 40yo old retards who becomes full normies.

Just watching old videos and reading old posts you really feel how fandom right now is basically dead and only like less then 10k bronies exist right now in the world.

Also when i become brony/mareshizo whatever you call it, I miss time when i could go to local county con, and now i probably can't ever visit any of them in next 5 or so years, so pretty much fandom gonna be dead at this point :(

Unless Hasbro or someone else make a peak that's bringing new peoples

>>43056029
>Pony is coming back, brother.
>Maybe next year, maybe 2 years, maybe 3.

I've heard so many people saying this so many times since the show ended. They always say "next year" but that year is always a year away.
I don't want baseless speculation, I want actual proof that we're getting something good again.

Merch being sold on the other side of the globe does not prove anything.
Hasbro is so out-of-touch with their public they might interpret it as them wanting worthless shit like G5.
And even if Hasbro realizes people liked FiM (something that's already a big reach) and decide to make new seasons, they won't bring back any of the old staff (or any talented person for that matter) that made it good in the first place. They'll put the Tell your Tale's showrunners or a nepobaby like Vogel in charge, further killing what little dignity remained in the old show, just like how Haber did back in 2016.

Hi, yes, guy from that generation here. Yeah you missed out.

Everyone misses out on something Anon, but be thankful you even COULD touch a vein of something so old. Some of us don't even have that.

It's still there. Fossilized, but real, and it was, and it promises something. You can be happy again. Besides. Nothing stops you from pulling up old episodes.

Good luck. And thanks for appreciating an old timer.

Discovered MLP in 2020, but came here in 2023 after advent of character.ai. Even now I touch ponies mostly through AI and fan-content is just source of inspiration for me. Watched show only until S2E10.

All you faggots can do is cry. Just pick an animation software and make animations with leaked rigs you lazy retards. I blame the oldfags who had plenty of time to do that.
>e.g. mare fair has an animation team but they refuse to make cool episodes, instead they make shitty blender png animations for their con every year and barely get tens of thousands of views per animation because their skulls are too thick to understand that no one is interesed in their shitty convention

>>43056514

What do you do with these AI littlehorses anyway? I could never get them to follow slightly complex storylines or scenarios without derping out.

got into the show just barely over a year ago but been able to meet a lot of cool people who have been into pony since the beginning because of it. for the most part, you can still find a lot of people who are just getting into pony and are willing to talk about it as if it was a new thing. i'm finding people older than me who are just starting and people who are younger than me who have been here for at least a decade (i'm 23). i've been a fan of other properties that were dead long past the time i got into them, but pony is different because people are STILL making crazy amounts of art and content, can't say the same for the things I used to enjoy before. conventions are still getting increasing numbers of attendees and this board is still active. i can also be thankful that ponies got me back into art too.
just be happy with what you have and find people who are in the same boat as you.

My latest card, for example https://mlpchag.neocities.org/view?card=Anonymous/Sokan%20Yugi.png

Last days I create new one where I rebuilt lore to give Equestria more alien vibe - Equestria isn't state in human sense, ponies are hypercollectivist society with semi-animalistic behaviour, absolute communist economy (not totalitarian but abundance and lack of currency outside of big cities), blind fate in Celestia power and non-human language (3 languages+simplified mixed Koine).

I don't have FOMO for not getting into it sooner to interact with the community. Being able to watch it at my own pace while petabytes of fan content exist online is kino

I thank the powers that be that I got to experience the fandom in full. I would never trade it for anything, and I pity those who couldn't be there. I will be on my death bed and I'll still remember those golden years. Bless the internet and this fandom that a lot of it was archived, but a lot of it was lost forever.

I KNEW IT! Rarity was a snake all along. It explains why she is such a gold digger.

>>43055172
i was born at the right time, i even watched season 1 and 2 when it was new, but i kept my distance because i was a stupid teenager who thought /v/ was cool and funny, a stupid teenager who was deeply paranoid that the slightest misstep online would get you doxed and lolcow'd forever
i made a lot of bad decisions waiting for the day when i'd grow up and finally start living my life. then one day it turned to regret that i was already old and my chance to live my life had already passed. now, tepidly, i have to accept i'm starting from 0 in my 30s.

but i am starting. i wasted a lot of time, but i've finally started moving ahead. i'm only here posting right now because i'm weighing up watching the show in full anyway, even if i missed the period when it was all new.

>>43055196
the frightening thought is that right now, something cool is happening and we're missing out on it. worse still, there's a reasonable chance it's not because it's super obscure. it's just that our mistakes only become clear in hindsight.

>>43056805
I watched the show in full in 2024 by watching an episode every lunch hour and another before bed, joined the 2025 antithology, and watched the 15th anni and it's all good.
It's a shame I also stayed away from the show in my youth because I thought it was "okay" after watching a some episodes with my friends. He was much more into it and I mostly saw MLP through TF2 and my friend. Now I wish I joined earlier, but I'm here.
It's better late than never and love for pony is all that is needed. Take your time and appreciate the pony.

G6 will be even less memorable than G5 because it will happen at the lowest point of the machine generated content buzz. G7 will be glorious.

it's wild search up mlp content on youtube most of the popular videos are from 11-14 years ago i just got into mlp 6 months ago and it feels that most bronys moved on to other things like bluey or something mlp fandom is still active just not it's prime

>>43057298
I don't really see any appeal in Bluey. It's something I might've watched with my kids if I had them but on your own I don't find it very interesting.

Don't really see much appeal in any modern cartoons though, to be honest. I miss the 90s.

>>43057110
wild because I didn't the exact same thing January this year, like lunch and before bed too. I think people desire genuine media and not miserable shit all the time. I think the show holds up incredibly well even as a new fan who thought it was cringe when the brony fandom emerged.

>>43057352
>I miss the 90s.
Same, MLP G4 was really lightning in a bottle, a real good Faust creation that happened to come out when I was really done with cartoons that weren't the late 90s and early 2000s, but I haven't seen something amazing since then.

Nigger, you are fucking stupid because you are currently living through the most fun moments I've had in the fandom. I have been here since 2012, and since 2023, we've been living in the most fun time in the fandom, ESPECIALLY if you give a shit about cons. You know why oldfags reminisce about them? We were a decade younger, and the rose tinted glasses settle in. Yeah, I'll go on about the old days in the fandom and how much we talked shit on Purple Tinker, but you need to remember that we had to deal with Purple Tinker. Back in the day, there were more people - so what? There's plenty of people who still make quality content. There's still plenty of people who drive themselves to make quality content. That's always been the case. Something like Mare Fair was something I was dreaming about back in 2014, but I resigned myself to believing it could never happen until somebody went and fucking did it. It is the people who do things who make that sort of shit happen.
You have your youth, and that's an asset. Use it, otherwise you'll be like me, where one day you wake up and realize 10 fucking years have gone by in the blink of an eye.
>>43055196
That's the only advantage of being an oldfag, you get to be a jaded asshole about stuff. Don't take it too personally, just take it as an excuse to do it better. The reality is, the best parts of the fandom are no different than they were back in the day. Getting caught up in the past is an old man's game, strive to create your own legendary moments, that way in a decade's time (you) get to be the jaded, bitter oldfag who looks back on the last with rose-tinted lenses.

>>43057492
>you are currently living through the most fun moments I've had in the fandom
I gotta agree with this, post-finale has been great, I also think that OP should understand that MLP G4 itself and the fandom that followed it were considered the pinnacle of cringe when it was a newer show, it got a lot of hate, so much hate and banning of people posting pone on /co/ happened that they had to make this board for it, so keep that in mind, something from the "good old days of 2012" was considered cancer, it's just that enough time has past to think everything was perfect back then because nostalgia, especially for something you weren't there for is extremely powerful.

Also you are going to miss being 20 years old Anon, so don't feel like there's no fun, I used to think being 20 years old and barely getting into pone during the 100th episode was bad but that era was glorious, as is you being 20 years old right now.

TLDR: The earth is 4.5 billion years old and you happen to exist in a time to watch pone

and when you do recognize how creative and fun the past was, the conversations ALWAYS goes exactly like this
>"old fandom was better"
>"nah, you wouldn't like to see the horrors"
okay? and i was almost a groomed victim who saw videos of gore and porn unsupervised at 12, can you actually shut the fuck up? of course nobody wants to see it but it'll always exist, not everyone went through whatever you went through, and not everyone had the shittiest time, it's entirely about PERSPECTIVE, not every golden era was a dark age, it's all about where you look at or seek for. though i do agree that instead of dwelling in the past, we can always be fun and creative again and make our own golden eras.

>>43057501
Ehh, while there was some pretty good fandom content, there was a lot of stuff what was fucking shit, and like >>43057500 said, what we consider retro and good from 2012 was at one point hot new shit, and people considered it shit because it was pony and the new thing is always bad, and in another 10 or 15 years, stuff the fandom is making right now will be looked at as "wow that's when the clop animations were really good" etc, I know I'm being a gooner, but there was a time where anatomically correct was like a niche thing, and now most ponies are drawn like that, just go to the earlest pages of Derpibooru, it's quite entertaining how crude the art was, people in 2012 would be absolutely amazed to look at art made recently.

The fandom now produces way higher quality content than back then though, objectively speaking.

>>43057592
KICK THAT PEGASUS BITCH OFF THE PLANE!!!

>>43057592
Having been part of the fandom since 2015, I'd say the raw numerical amount of content has been partially traded for a higher average quality of content.


Also, on the topic as a whole, I will say that as a Zoomer (Zillenial?) who's been here since 2015 (and has barely made much content so far), I still have tons of pony content I want to make.
Heck, I've had dreams of doing a fan animation series since month 3.
Now, realistically I probably won't be able to achieve that, (especially since doing the actual animation isn't my thing, and GenAI feels more like a creative cop-out as time goes on), but I at least hope to do a comic series of sorts.
Main things holding me back from putting stuff out NOW, are a struggle to sit myself down and just MAKE, and also that college assignments have to come first, sadly.
(Unironically I have a fanfic from 2019 that's only gotten 10 chapters in 6 years, and still needs about 3 chapters to finish.)

Opposite situation
Fandom was on its peak when I was an edgy young adult and hated because was all over the place and was too childish and feminine looking for accept how much I liked it and was afraid of being a fag. Curiosity got the best of me and started to visit the board like in 2015, previously was only on /co/ and /a/.

>>43055172
A lot of fandom content was self-deleted when people were embarrassed or "moved on"

>>43056212
I actually think the conditions are more ripe than ever for the brony fandom to be big again, if Hasbro actually makes content for the series and doesn't make it unwatchable garbage.

On the other hand, I'm not sure I want the "sheesh no cap" zoomers becoming the heirs to the fandom. The fandom will end up normieified especially as cringe culture is also acceptable now.

>>43056496
in all seriousness, there's jack shit to be excited about in this decade. no fandom right now is worth giving a crap about.

>>43058379
That's why this fandom, that already innovated on so many levels, had to, unfortunately, resort to archive efforts.
And even like that, not all was saved.

>I'm not sure I want the "sheesh no cap" zoomers becoming the heirs to the fandom. The fandom will end up normieified especially as cringe culture is also acceptable now.
Not to mention all this "anti-shipper" discourse I see amongst zoomers/gen a now. It extends beyond shipping but the main idea being a lot of young people are retarded puritans and think fiction they don't like affects reality or they think liking fictional stuff equates to being some criminal in real life. as if liking mlp ponies or fillies equates to liking real horses and children.

The most cringey thing I've heard coming from them was the term "self-shipping". Honestly, I'm glad sites like Tiktok exist so they remain secluded from our part of the fandom. Normieniggers don't know anything on the internet exists outside of the big corpo websites anyway.

>>43058411
>ironic skits about wanting to fuck a horse, heavy on the ironic part.
lmao, what? Good to know I miss out on nothing by never having tiktok. How do you even post about wanting to cum inside Rainbow Dash in an ironic way?

>>43057592
LoL, no.
The only thing whats different is the overall maturity. In the early days there was not much to build on.

>>43055172
I would say out are missing out on:
- things that never will be again, like bronycon with 10k attendees, or watching the episodes premier live and interacting with others during the ad brakes
- genres that are defunct and not at all mentioned these days like flash games or tumblr blogs
- having the ability to find old content, and by this I mean that while the content is there and somewhat easy to find, you wont come across it (unknown unknowns) if you dont know what to look for
- having enough time to look through all the significant/impactful content the fanbase produced
- stuff what got deleted (many many many yt channels, music, fanfic, art, etc)
- having a central place for the fanbase, these days the majority of content is behind random discord servers, not out on the open internet like forums
But the largest thing what you will never experience is the size of the fandom. It shrunk to like 5% of its peak size.

>>43055387

As someone who was already an adult when the brony craze was in its incipience, you young fuckers give me hope. So many have flaked off from this fandom, never to return - but there are many, like yourself, who barely even existed back then and are now cranking out new waves of content. Hundreds of oldfags lived long enough to see themselves become the villains, got swept along with the mainstream zeitgeist, forgot their roots or else developed a hatred for them, and on and on. It was certainly interesting, I'll grant you that, but it wasn't all sunshine and celery stalks. And just as it's sad to see them go, it's heartening to see newfags picking up the torch.
Of course the old guard are going to be nostalgic. That's the nature of nostalgia. But you are here now, and I respect and value that, so let's learn from each other. In the meantime, do not lose heart.

older zoomers kind of got to experience the last bit of oldish interent culture (miniclip and old flash games, SM still not being as bad as it is today). I was also born in 2004 and only really interacted with pony stuff in terms of popular fan animations (misterdavie, demon, fluffle puff etc) and music videos, and only years later decided to watch the actual series and enjoy it a lot. I actually watched it a few times while visiting a friends house as a kid cause he really liked the show a lot, but it doesn't really count, it was like 3 ep. Is is pretty sad seeing irony-poisoned fags becoming a bigger part of the fandom though I admit. Anyways, I think OP should just appreciate ponies as they are outside of the cultural stuff, that's what I do

I'm bothered that adults were being born when I started high school.

Excuse me, I think the word you're searching for is Pony Enlightened Chads.

I don't know what it is about zoomers (and I guess gen alpha since some of them are tweens now) but they just can't be genuine in any capacity. This is more of a broader complaint concerning artistic culture, but with just MLP, it seems to me that all they do is take the characters and put them through meme templates, or even political ones, rather than creating any interesting OC material. Even if they like the series, theres a level of detachment and surface level analysis that just pisses me off so much, they don't want to (or can't) engage with the work in any interesting way (most of them at least), or they get too wrapped up in the history and infamy of the fanbase that they kind of act like a parody of what a brony/horsefucker is actually like. Tik tok especially is geared towards short form surface level content, so there's no way you can actually be artistic or interesting in that kind of environment. The younger generations feel this to, it's why they always long for an early 2010s and before type of world

You should go back to /co/ and stay there.

this. it's so weird how they never make anything unless it's part of a trend.

>>43060420
>they just can't be genuine in any capacity.
You're spot on.
As a zoomer I'll say that I'm very afraid of what people will think of me. I've created the public shell of "good and polite" self and if I start being geniune people will be shocked to see me acting not like they expect me to. Even if I really want to do something, I always overthink if this will not be too crazy for the people around me and the close ones. I'm very afraid of being seen and "weird" and "edgy".
An example: I want to make a <shooter game> + <mlp character> fan fiction, but refuse to do it because I think one day someone will find it and will not see me in the same way ever again.

>>43061265
Man, you zoomers are messed up, no offense. Do you think this fake personality developed because you grew up with social media? I grew up in a time before internet existed (at least to the general public) so I never had it impact me much in my formative years (our entire high school class used to get onto IRC to chat during computer workshops but that was when I was already 17 years old).

>>43055838
it was KC tier

>>43055885
i bet a lot of great artists are zoomers, but i don't know anyone in specific.

>>43061278
Till this day I'm intentionally hiding my geniune interest towards MLP FiM (e.g. watching episodes only in Tor so no one can trace me in case if someone looks at the router logs) because I'm afraid of "I will never looks the same at you ever again" and getting bullied for liking it

I never used social media and never found them appealing, in my case it was bullying and the school's mindset that programmed me with the "stay quiet or you'll have problems", "doing <x, y, z> makes you likeable in the eyes of people", "risking is scary", "always follow the instruction in very detail"

I don't know the reason for other zoomers being like that. I think it's because our social circles were already built on wearing "masks" instead of being geniune. This started to be noticeable in the early high school

>>43061265
Maybe it's because I'm an Older Zoomer, and/or because I'm desperate for IRL friends I can *really* talk with ponies about (12 years and counting on that one), but I'll just flat out tell people I do pony fanfics and fanart.
Granted, I'll usually only do it if it's relevant to the conversation in some way, and even then I kinda just drop "fanfic" and "fanart" in the generic way and only elaborate if someone asks what franchise, but I still just come right out and say it when the moment comes.
And maybe it's also because most people I mention it to are Catholic, but they're always super chill about it, and will sometimes even still ask further questions about what I'm writing.

So don't feel too scared about it; true men are open about their lives and interests (though not everything has to be dumped up-front).
Speaking from experience, even *without* mentioning pony, you will meet MANY people and not really hit it off much beyond introductions; it's just how social stuff works.

>don't know the reason for other zoomers being like that.
it's because we live in a self inflicted panopticon with 24/7 surveillance. Everything you say and do can be recorded and archived forever for people to judge you 10 years later. I opt to share some shit with close friends and keep my internet presence low should I ever start making content for this fandom. I'll only speak on /mlp/ and let my content speak for itself on other forms of social media. But I've always been a bit of a privacy nut, never posting my face online, having seperate accounts for different groups of people, etc.

No, this is about what I expected from a thread full of kids fresh out their teens.
